Readest: EPUB & PDF Reader

还是不能点击mdx的链接，很多mdx自定义功能不能实现。希望能有完整的词典功能。

It is excellent

Minimalista, estético y funcional.

best reading app ever. clean, simple interface with realistic features. there isn't a thing i needed that i can't find in this app.

the best book app ever!! i should've used this more before moon+reader 😭😭 the fact that i can import everything from my phone to my laptop easily, and even if u import nore books from ur laptop, it'll auto sync to ur phone so u just download them omg i will forever support this app 😭😭❤️❤️

Please add one-click, start reading aloud feature. Double click to pause.

definitely the most competent reader but also the ugliest.

Pretty good so far. But I noticed that the logo looks AI-generated, I'm afraid if my data would be used for AI training. I hope I were wrong

Good but a lot of bugs are there. specially to highlight text across pages.

Trying to use this app to read books in new languages. I am taking advantage of the highlight to read aloud function. Having each paragraph auto translated is very helpful. However, I wish that there was a way to have the TTS play at the same time as the translation. I want to hit a word and hear the pronunciation and see the translation at the same time. This would save me so much time. Edit: I decided since the app is open source, I can just add the feature myself. And I did! 5/5 stars!

The best one as of today. This was recommended to me by BookHive developer, a Book reading logger on the ATmosphere (Bluesy) network. I never looked back at my old Android reader app.

One of the best, good looking app I have come across. It is exactly what i needed. Have bought the LTF too, just two feedback, or feature requests. If the account sync could also sync layout, theme, spacing settings, it would be amazing.

Es Increible, la mejor. Probé todas las apps en google play y github para leer ebooks (o las más importantes), probé la de kindle, eboox, koreader, books story y muchos más. Pero Readest es la app rey. Tiene demasiadas opciones de personalización, y junto a kindle, tiene las estéticas y experiencia de usuario más cuidadas que hay. Está llena de esos pequeños detalles y grandes herramientas que la hacen una app perfecta. Recomendada.

Worst experience in android

The best E-reader app that I have found to read comfortably in my smart phone with good UI and features.No other alternatives to beat this,or atleast match this in my opinion.

Genuinely one of the best e-readers I’ve used, if not the best. Font, highlighting, underlining, and layout customisation, plus audiobooks, make it a favourite. These features are free, except for offline audiobook downloads and extra cloud storage. Overall, it's a great app

been a fan since it first released and i can say that it's packed with a ton of features and there's great support around to help if there's any bugs or recommendations! it's generally perfect

Just works and without adds. Responsive, intuitive and highly customizable UI, convenient dictionary and annotation integration. Highly recommend

Best app I've found so far for people who like to customize every little thing (me). Everything from font, margins, line spacing, word spacing, LETTER SPACING, dictionaries, translators can all be customized. You can even upload your own fonts and dictionaries. You can sync reading positions across multiple devices, it's super easy to find and upload books to the readest cloud on one device and read on another without extra transfer apps or manual transfers. 10/10

love the app. and living the consistent improvements. thank you.

The app is great except for the recent TTS upgrades, they need bugfixing. I have to be very particular and finicky with how I start the audio playback for it to work, and then the player UI often disappears and I can't get it back up until I restart the app. If this is fixed it will easily be 5 stars

I like the simple UI, the possibility to use multiple highlight colors, and the built-in dictionaries, but unless I'm missing something, the swipe between book chapters (especially previous) is impossible. I like to read on scrolled mode and then simply swipe either left or right (think: like the Lithium experience). The app seems to be laptop based so please take into consideration the fact that I'm using it on mobile.

started using the windows version last week and I liked it better than the other readers I've been using, so I decided to use this app now too on my phone.

Love this app!

Good in theory but needs work. the PDF support for android is simply bad. the screen stutters and jumps, and the highlighting experience is even worse. as a university student this is a deal breaker. otherwise I would make this my main app and drop the other ones. the web interface is great, but suffers from similar problems with stability of selection and highlighting. programs like Kindle and Read Era have this figured out - the reader feels rock solid, readest however not (yet) so much.

very beautiful interface

The reader itself is very convenient, reliable, attractive, and has a number of features that I haven't seen anywhere else. But the synchronization with a Koreader plugin, and then with a BookOrbit, makes it a gem.

decent app. integrates well into calibre/bookorbit. for some reason, on android the media player behaves strangely. sometimes it will take pressing play twice to resume the read-aloud, sometimes it doesn't work at all. additionally, taking a phone call does not pause the TTS, merely switches the media output to the phone call instead.

it's a very good app but I signed in with the same account on a different device and it is not syncing my books. please help

One of the most feature rich ebook readers, and one of the rarest to offer cloud support. I’ve installed it on my iPhone and laptop as well.

was my fav reading app until the read aloud/text to speech feature doesn't work for me. It's been a couple of days and I've tried clearing the cache, but it's still not working. I can't put myself to clear the data or uninstall-reinstall the app because the last time I did it i lost all the books in my library, the backup and restore feature didnt work. *update: i updated to the latest version and its working again!

Best reading app ever.

DO NOT TURN ON AUTO SYNC WITH KOREADER I lost my a week worth of annotations, bookmarks, and highlights because of it 😭 please fix this problem, i read & annotating on my koreader with my wifi off and once i turned on my wifi and it automatically synching with my phone which don't have my annotations and it also wiped out my annotations 😭😭😭😭

A different problem.... audio does not work period. It looks like it is trying to load then stop, please fix!

None of the books are downloadable

Can you Add note taking feature like Starnote. Please 🥺

Great reading experience, great customization, great experience. But since the TTS function stopped working, I have no option but to find an alternative. Hope you guys fix it soon.

The BEST e-reader app that I've found 📚🤍 It has cloud syncing, tons of customization options, beautiful design and the sync with Notion and Hardcover are honestly life-changing (no exaggeration) 😭🙏🏻 It has all the essential features I need and it makes my reading experience so smooth, distraction-free, and enjoyable that I've fallen in love with reading again ✨️ Thank you so much to the developers and everyone behind this app 🥹💘

Definite the best app, love the frequent updates. The only problem is all the Read-Aloud features are not working for me at the moment, they used to work before but not anymore for some reason, hope they address that eventually.

Good app. Syncing with KOReader is flawless. User friendly. Good formatting options without being overwhelming. I wish it had a multi page grid search function. Also, the TTS isn't working for me.

unstable functions with every new version

I use it to read books aloud but since the latest update it can't read aloud at all. it keeps loading but nothing ever happens

Advertisement free app. Highly recommend.

(URGENT) recently the app stopped playing audio at all. not sure what happened. it works well on ipad. i cleared all data multiple times, deleted and reinstalled my account, used a different email, enabled all permission, loaded books, deleted and loaded them again. pretty much nothing helps. the progress bar keeps circling for a few seconds and then TTS just disables itself. google pixel 8 pro. please help as the app became unusable.

Fantastic reading app, I have used a lot of reading apps over the year: Moon Reader, ReadEra, Lithium but this is the gold standard for reading EPUBs(Any format really, mine are only Epub). Give this app a shot, it's the closest thing to a perfect reading app

simply the best

Works as I expect it to.

Reader completely stopped working a few days ago. Reinstalled/restarted phone, nothing. The audio nav bar completely disappeared

友達からこのアプリがいいと教えてもらったばかりです。機械翻訳もあって、翻訳もとてもいいですよ。

Se para TTS

Importing books and background images into app storage and cache seems to make it glitchy and hang up. hope that gets sorted out. love every other customization.. and way to back up with metadata changes made to grouping and series would be appreciated too. you are legends for giving background image scroll update.. so looking forward to these changes soon and recommend

I really enjoy using this app! Thank you!

like the tts feature with built-in edge-tts engine

Best reading app ever. I'm so glad and happy this was created. I occasionally find ever so small mishaps which I would like to give feedback on if there was an easy way to do so. I would like to support them if I can.

I possess a limited number of books, but the process of backing them up seems to last indefinitely .... and I mean it takes more than an hour! It is still preferable to waiting for a response from the developer who has never replied to my emails.

After many years of using alternatives, I consider myself extremely lucky to have found this app. It has everything you need, plus seemless sync, plus it appears to be run by people who genuinly love what they do. Oh and it keeps getting better, the rate of updates and improvements is incredible. Congratulations, I insta-bought a lifetime license, as I see no reason of ever using anything else.

i wish i could give more than 5 stars for this app.

The parallel read option is tucked under the TOC menu. quite counterintuitive and took several interactions with the developer to figure it out. I really appreciate the developer's prompt responses!

Everytine I run this app on background, my google account is signed out. Please fix i like the app

I love this app so much. I read all my books on it without it taking up my space like other apps do. this is the best book app on the play store. one thing I would suggest is they fix the TTS reading because it talks too fast and sometimes skips whole paragraphs.

Una app excelente, ¿pero por qué no aparece la opción de leer los libros desde una carpeta cuando la instalo en una tablet?

Really love this app . At this point it’s so close to perfect that I wouldn’t need a dual-app setup anymore. The only things holding it back for me are the TTS voices (Bookfusion sounds more natural in my opinion) and the Notion integration, which currently only syncs highlights and notes instead of also pushing pages and/or reading progress. Fix those two, and I’d drop everything else and just use Readest.

ek number

Overall experience is good- lots of features and a smooth interface. But adding books from a directory doesn't work on my old tablet (android version 10), whether reading books in place or not; it shows no books found even when there are files in the selected folder. Due to this I have to import books one by one which takes up more space. It would be nice if it was fixed. Thank you.

Everything works as advertised, and quite well.

This might be a stretch but is there a way that the double tap feature also works on paragraph mode, instead of just exiting it? Great app though! you could tell it was made by people who love reading.

best best best it's sync across android ios and windows pc thanks guys for creating this and keeping free version it's a good move to buy the lifetime account I am sure going forward with that it's my first day using readest

This is definitely the best reader app right now and it’s getting better with every new release. Regardless of which platform you use, synchronization works out of the box. It supports MDX dictionaries, and it has a wonderful reading ruler and it has e-ink mode for bw and color e-ink devices. Big kudos and thanks to the developer!

this is like perfect i would genuinely LOVE if we could import an audio file instead of using tts and if there were reading rulers!! (I hope y'all see this)

best ebook reader app no ads and the basic functionalities are present with modern ui

Awesome reading app!

Super simple, the text to speech with offline model worked flawless! Recommended।

the new TTS navigation is better now, it only needs the ability to click a paragraph to start reading aloud instantly instead of using ⏪⏩ keys to navigate, and the highlights color now cannot be changed

Definitely the best ebook reader on Android for me—and I’ve tried a lot. What you get in the free version already beats most paid alternatives. The TTS (text-to-speech) function is unbeatable for a free app, delivering audio quality that rivals, or even matches, paid AI neural voices. Highly recommended!

I am using Readest on a Meebook G7S (Android E-reader) with over 1,200 EPUB files stored locally. I'm encountering a critical issue when attempting to use the "read from directory" feature: Library Indexing Loop & Crash: The app fails to complete building the library. It consistently crashes after indexing around 200–300 files. Upon reopening, it restarts the indexing process from scratch, getting stuck in an infinite loop.

it does not work properly!

By far the best, most polished eBook experience I've ever had the pleasure of using. Didn't think I'd ever step away from Lithium but here I am with my cloud storage synced, custom themed with my own imported font Readest setup. Just how I envisioned it. Apple Books, my original favourite but not attainable on Android, has been beat. PERFECTION. One update request though: Add the search through the text magnifying glass icon on the book tap view quick settings. Right now it's two clicks.

really love it my first ever ebook app and so many visual adjustments available for free!

control on android is a shxt. Drag not moving occasionally, zoom is laggy. These were not observed on iPhone. image pdf support is none, hope image annotation will support soon, and improvement to pdf render performance is needed

it's great, love it!

please improve on the voice

Perfect app for avid readers. It is customizable down to the smallest of details, with amazing features.

For a free app, this app is insanely good. I hope you guys can add a browser element inside the app on PC client or maybe on mobile if it's possible, so when I have to check a dictionary on a web, it doesn't bring me to my browser, but it's showing me right in the app itself.

This is a great companion for my Kindle PW running KOReader. Everything syncs well and the app is much better than the Kindle reading app. Excellent customization makes occasional reading on my phone a pleasure again. Free version has everything I need but I may buy an upgrade later just to support the developers.

I've used a LOT of reading applications over the years and am pretty annoyingly picky about them. I want them to be both frictionless to open and start reading, while also being feature rich and cross platform. This is my all time favorite reading app by a wide margin. KOreader sync support, mobile apps across platforms (and the web!) to sync your library and reading location, OPDS support, audiobookshelf support, the ability to sync notes and highlights to notion... Incredible stuff.

This is the best e-reader app I have ever tried. It is easy to use, learn, and navigate. It also has many high-quality features, including translation in various modes based on your needs and various dictionary formats. I have not found any problems with other features. I have tried over 40 e-reader apps, both paid and free versions, well-known and lesser-known apps. Each one has disappointed me in some way.

Hands down one of the best readers I've used over the years. It's a no brainer if you like to read across multiple devices; I use it to sync my progress between my phone, tablet, and e-ink reader. Started using it for novels and then it became my reader of choice for academic and reference books too, it's just too comfortable. I'm not interested in any of the optional AI features so I purchased some lifetime storage to support the project instead.

everything good but sometimes the translation doesn't work while having 5g network

this e-reader is perfect. so why am I giving this 2 stars because using it over a long time and across multiple updates can be a awful experience. disable auto update across all devices and it solves all problem and this reader is a 5/5

best android reading app ever and synchronization with other devices doesnt matter what OS u using, Linux windows android iOS u can finish the book u reading from any other device, since i found the app my reading experience hqs changed alot. thanks to the dev teams behind it 🙏, dont make start about the very generous free tier to, 10/10

Please fix the zoom in/zoom out it feels very stiff, try to imitate like Eboox for example

definitely love this app it got everything customization is to good 10/10 reading experience got a ton of features too love this app

The concept and implementation is good. But i would like a better ux. The app doesn't feel snappy at all - while opening it flashes multiple times, there are little to no animations, and overall doesn't give the feel of a well optimized and smooth app.

It's nice, but this current update is laggy. I can't seem to use the audio player anymore. It freezes my screen. I need to turn on my airplane mode and off to get it to work most times, and it takes about five minutes to do that. It used to work fine before. Hopefully, something will be done about it because it's the most feature I use. Thanks.

After trying several epub readers, I can definitely say this is the best 👌

I haven't been using this app for very long (trying to move away from google books), but I'm really enjoying that I can add tags to books and that I can see the series. the only thing I wish I could do (so far) is adding tags to multiple books at a time because that would be a massive time saver (I have over 1,000 epubs saved to my phone)

Amazing app with plenty of customizable themes and a sleek, modern UI that's easy on the eyes. My only complaint is that the zooming in and out still feels a bit stiff and not as smooth as it could be, practically unusable, for now. (Edit : still the same even after the update)

nice open source cross-platform reader, feature-rich, generous free sync options

good app thank youuu

it's great overall , the only problem I have is with highlighting I want to highlight a sentence it does the whole page or even a paragraph which is beyond frustrating . I truly love this app but I would love if the problem gets fixed

it is a very good app and very thoughtful made but one thing that bugged me is that when reading a web novel , the chapter name is only shown in the header and not in the page itself. so while reading I didn't notice that a new chapter has started(also in paragraph mode). pls change this and it will be the best reader. love your app

Awesome app, works really well! The only thing I miss is an enhanced PDF rendering on mobile devices (with reflow/text conversion). That would make this the best reader ever!

App constantly freezes after performing simple actions like changing theme/brightness, or opening a book. Player behavior can be finicky as it does not start reading from the current focus as one would expect. I often find myself fighting the controls, since attempts to trigger controls appearance often triggers scrolling at the same time. A simplified settings that progressively discloses and disambiguates what reader vs global app controls would be beneficial. Thank you

very nice interface, but the app is absolutely not optimized for chinese webnovels with thousands of chapters and it just dies after opening large epubs unlike moonreader or readera

Update 8/17/26: LOVE the new updates. page curl works faster and more responsive and the quick bookmark is the one request I really wanted. The app is now perfect!

The app is great! But there's one problem. I can't remove books from the recently read section. It'll really help if that feature can be added because it'll help me know which books I'm reading instead of scrolling through past books I've already read. I'd be really happy if this feature is added.

Best, most clean and useful reading app I've found yet. Been trying out all the other big options.

Great app allowing lots of customization! =) If possible, please add support to import and store files / data (eg. txt) in compressed archives (eg. zip / 7zip) as they reduce file size by 50-60%.

pretty much one of the best ereaders; I've been using various ereaders and so far is one of the best, the rendering is great and fluid, though I like the way it handles the epubs from it's source directory on desktop, it would be great to have it on android... mmh if I have to say something, sometimes it gets a bit slow while navigating when there are many book added on the library even on a high end mobile, but well it's an ereader not a library manager

some epub files have error for TTS. it shows TTS not supported but for the same file it worked completely fine for some period and suddenly stops support of tts.

Beautiful! one problem is that a few TTS engines don't seem to pick up punctuations and linespaces properly. idk if that is a TTS voice thing or an app thing tbh. just noting it.

The best mobile epub reader I've found. Feature-rich, with no ads.

Great! To be the greatest it needs to optimized, efficient and swift even on oldest systems. Professional reading app: (app is in development) 1. Supports Reading direction (RTL and vertical direction) 2. Supports custom dictionary and quick meaning just with one tap. 3. Page turn animations. 4. Simple and beautiful library and clean UI. 5. Multi-platform. 6. ... .

I've hooked this app up with hardcover and grimmory and absolutely love it's intergration with my reading library

Great app with great value. Please never change the lifetime purchase plans aa they are something that not many apps have now.

Theoretically a good app, but for me rsther frustrating. (for context, I have processing issues and need ti listen and read at the same time to really take in the books, also, I'm on the free plan) The last two or so days, the TTS keeps stopping randomly at the end of random sentences and refuses to continue, until I restart the app (and sometimes I need to entirely restart my phone). This needs to be fixed for those reliant on the TTS.

ever since app was fixed in last update it has been back to my fave EPUB reader. good for uploading to a cloud for multi device access, non annoying TTS which sometimes is nice to relax with, and further more now the phone app can properly highlight with different colours. very good app if you want to get into reading more and want some ease of access tools.

Reading ebooks on phone for years. I found that readest is the best reader ever. My only concern is about it's electron app and it may lag badly (like notion).

no ads, beautiful update-log, easy to use, comfortable ui-design, and lots of other lovely things. my only issue is with minor bugs that sometimes occur when scrolling through notes or selecting text.

does exactly what it needs to and isn't bogged down by any unnecessary bloat. love that I can use this to continue Reading any of my books from any of my devices, track my highlights, my notes in annotations and bookmarks–super handy

been using this on my laptop and its really nice. i like that it has a sync feature (that keeps all of my annotations) for when i wanna read on my phone. only thing i dont like is that it feels really clunky and not as smooth on mobile. 'swipe to paginate' doesn't work for some reason?? which was really annoying

In a nutshell, an all-rounder app boasting a modern UI. In built DICTIONARY , which even provides images to give context, a very good feature. Sync feature works well. Along with, translation option. Theme changing is just awesome, i changed the backround with a gradient one, and it looks so neat and cool. Basically, you have everything you would want in a reading app. Cheers to the developers team.

i love this app sm! the customization is amazing—from fonts and imports to highlight colors, themes, book covers, and the e-ink feature. the ui is super clean and easy to navigate. 4/5 stars only because i wish the bookmarks and highlights were improved so i could jump back to highlighted pages, skim, and favorite lines without losing my current place. overall, this is the only reading app on my phone and the main reason i'm reading so much now (5 hours of screen time)!

Does not display the text body, but at least it can open the file.

I think this app was built by a reader bcz it has all the exact customization a reader would like for reading. I mean that's a compliment.

the app was working smoothly and I was loving the experience....but than out of no where it just stopped working...it wasn’t even opening..it's saying that there are bugs in the updated version and my phone can't open the app...I have tried everything thing to make it work again...like uninstalling it and reinstalling it..restarting my phone..but nothing is working...

sucks, the book import process is extremely slow, causing the screen to become unresponsive.

This app duplicates your entire library on your device. Not being able to turn this off, kills the app!

perfect reader! though i already use elevenreader as a "audiobook" while reading, i appreciate the built in TTS. the main thing i love here though is the ability to auto scroll while the ruler is on and dimming the words outside the ruler. it's helped me focus on reading a lot. :)

We request the implementation of a "read mode" feature, incorporating a lock symbol to enable screen locking and unlocking. This functionality would significantly enhance the user experience for individuals reading on tablets, as it would prevent inadvertent zooming or accidental selection of options. A dedicated reading mode with a lock mechanism would be highly beneficial in mitigating unintended touches and distractions, thereby improving reader focus and engagement. We kindly request the add

I love the app ye but I can't change the front it says I can add my fonts but when if I do it doesn't change and I can't read the books because it is difficult for me to concentrate with a certain font

There's no option to keep the bottom navigation menu (recent apps, home, back) on android, it always hides that part! I want it to be visible all the time! Add that option please. When trying to auto-save and auto-fill account details (user and password), I saw that the bitwarden shows this app name as "tauri.localhost"! And it doesn't work with bitwarden's autofill. Fix it please.

The answer I have been looking for. I get to own the books that I purchased and I can make them look the way I want. Best reading app I've ever used, freaking love it!!!

Genuinely the best reading solution, especially if you want cross platform sync. (It syncs fonts and the books themselves too!) It beats readera and moon reader for me personally, and the interface is crisp and user friendly.

Review updated 7-2-26 Series names in with single title names alphabetically. Series sub-sorted by series number. Current reading bar at the top. You folks are knocking it out of the park! Updated to 5 stars. Recently upgraded and added my personal library, now cloud accessible on my e-reader, phone, or tablet.

Genuinely a life changing ebook reader, absolutely amazing features and ui, everything about this app is near perfect. One of the only apps I've ever considered purchasing premium versions of. Planning to purchase a lifetime subscription soon!

Awesome app for reading! This app is perfect is you want to get what you want from reading AND KEEP IT!! Apps like Apple books or Kindle are just black boxes that keeps all of your valuable insights. With this app, you get options! Connect Google Drive, your own cloud, or they even provide their own syncing. If you're not using this app then you don't respect the valuable work you're doing!

Absolutely love Readest! The UI is beautiful and the reading experience is amazing. The only feature I'd love to see is an optional page-turn/page-curl animation. It would make the app absolutely perfect! Rest are perfectly fine ❤️

It's hard to find a good reader that isn't subscription-based and offers cross-device sync, but Readest breaks that rule. It's a one-time payment for lifetime sync across devices and platforms, which is exactly what I was hoping for.

I would like to give it 5 stars and even pay for it but pdf support is bad, not so so but actually bad, the rendering is slow, if you scroll fast pages won't even render, frequent crashes, selection is off by many characters. And this has been like this for a while, doesn't seem to be a priority at all.

The app is amazing but I would love to have an improvement to text to speech feature to make more natural and higher quality also I would appreciate a multilingual reading for books in a format other than English. also the search feature is lacking, sometimes I want to search a specific term or a word as some results don't show up so that's another aspect to improve on.

The apps is Good but incomplete cuz whenever I select a text from a pdf file it gets messy. First The select area bar doesn't work properly and the Word or Words I select do not stay The same it completely change them to just some Letters, for example: I selected (with difficulties) The Word "behave" and it only shows "b h ve".

I love the desktop version and started using it on my phone recently but there are a lot of bugs in this release. The zooming isn't smooth, it zooms in steps, the settings reset sometimes on its own, text selection doesn't work a lot of the times. the zoom issue happens with pdf files, the scroll settings reset on phone, the issues are present in all books.

It improves with every update, but it is really fantastic. The plug in works perfectly, lifetime subscription for not much if you want it, or free use for tons of epubs. Just reading in the app itself is excellent on eink devices on android. All the options I could want. Only change I would ask for is being able to tap the progress bar at the bottom and be able to cycle through all the options instead of doing it in the menu. great work guys.

I only use this for mobile as I have no need to read on my computer. If you are just using this to read, this app will fulfill that purpose. I have a few issues with the app. First off, adding books takes forever especially when you have quite a collection downloaded. 2nd there are quite a few issues with the TTS, in 3 different books, the TTS changes from English to French for no reason, you also cannot change the TTS voice, and it does not update the book on where you are at when you finishTTS

The app has by far the best UI I've seen for.a reading app, and it's my go-to when I’m using my PC, however the mobile app is a bit slow. It takes a while for books to load and I have issues with zooming in and out. When on 2 page view, both pages will zoom in simultaneously, and zooming in general is janky and not as smooth as on other platforms. I'm hoping this will improve over time.

it's the best UI Experience for a book reader I've used. But can you guys improve the app so that it stops lagging? I cannot change fonts and grouping books is always a chore. I've cleared cache hundred times already. Is there a fix for this?

the app is very good overall but i still have issues when highlighting passages. many times I tried to drag the pointer to the part that I wanted to highlight, it glitched and threw me to another page, which is frustrating.

Best cross platform reading app. Trustable for its open source maintenance. Unless Kindle which gives seamless support only for books bought from Kindle store, this app supports several formats and allows to edit meta data and cover images of books. But some synchronisation glitches occur between mobile app & web. And cover image of books changes only in local device and not in cloud.

I really hoped this would be a great reading app, but it's by far the worst I've ever tried. Wasted half an hour trying to add books to the library. There is no option to scan storage for files, which is unacceptable. Come on, every other app has that feature. On top of that, adding books one by one won't do you much good either, since the app crashes on larger files. Also, the general usage and reading experience is not that great either.

Everything i would ever want from an epub reader is here. But most importantly, the UI design, its impeccable and by far the most well thought out of all free alternatives out there. You can tell that the developers wanted to make the best app that they themselves could use.

this app is really good overall. my favorite feature is the translate function because it works very well and is super helpful. however, i really don’t like the import feature because it’s quite complicated and time consuming. i hope in future updates there will be an option to import files directly from a folder all at once, so i don’t have to open each folder and select files one by one.

An incredible cross-platform eBook reader. It can feel a little clunky UI/UX wise initially but you get used to it after a usage or two. It has a minimalist feel to it while offering just the right features you can ever require. I don't personally know about other formats but it works the best for ePubs for me. For PDFs, I use Librera on my phone and tablet and Okular on my linux laptop.

Best free reading app ever. Finally replaced my dopamine spikes from social media with reading. Synchronization is very easy to setup and costs nothing to have up to 500 MB synchronized. If you ever need more there are subscription and even lifetime options that are both priced incredibly generously. Thank you devs! You are the best!!!

I love it. I could highlight using different colors for free. That's a plus. Though quite complicated at first. But as long as you're patient it is REWARDING. I'm going to keep using this app. 10/10. Though please add an option to change the color of the fonts. It's complicated to customize the light and dark just in order for me to change the color. But overall, wonderful.

The app is a really good book reader, but it needs some improvements. I’m not sure if this is a device issue, but it was fast when I first started using it and became slower as my library grew. I’d also like an option to customize the order of grouped books, since series with different titles become messy when sorted alphabetically or by recently added. Also please allow the app to full screen the illustrations in the books.

Best app, few things needs to change: It doesn't show notes with highlighted color if we add a note from the Android app. It highlights the word if we add a note from the web version, but it creates two notes: one with highlighted color and one with just words or sentences. There's no option to sort by date in highlights, notes, and bookmarks. Book sections are sorted by name even if we sort them by date.

I was drawn to Readest for the built in edge TTS, which sounds great. Much better than the default android TTS. I love the app, and I'm impressed with the functionality. Negatives: I'd love for the pages to turn along with the TTS. Currently, the book only catches up to TTS at the start of a new chapter. Also the app frequently crashes after exiting to another app and returning.

Really appreciate this app. I've seen it make huge strides so quickly, it's so smooth and easy to use and flexible, and all the defaults and settings are sane. The syncing is incredible. I honestly hardly use my ereaders right now. eink is almost done (introduced a month ago) koreader sync too. pdfs need highlights though, but I feel like that'll take them a week at this rate. on my phone, boox, surface pro, web, everywhere it's flawless enough to just read comfortably, with my crazy CSS too

The best e-reader around with a wealth of features and customizations. Personally I most cherish custom font option and setting my own color scheme. Others might appreciate more numerous voice options for TTS. Easy export of highlights and annotations in markdown. Mobile app could use some documentation though. It took me forever to find out how to open contents, options and such within the book. Only managed it after turning off the 'tap to turn page' option.

In general terms, i looove the interface, it's so clean and minimalist, keep going, the only thing that i would suggest is add animations or something when we pass the page, 'cause it feels rough when i go to the next page by tapping the edge of the pag, also improve the optimization of the app 'cause sometimes it feels laggy; I tried the app on my tablet, the rest of the UI is so well done, the only thing that i can suggest it's the size of the books, in vertical orientation they look tiny.

Could you please address the issue with custom fonts not loading correctly? (For instance, custom fonts are not able able to display their italics correctly). Additionally, the application occasionally freezes when opening a book. It would also be beneficial to consider adding support for dictionary applications such as LookUp. Aside from these concerns, I find the app to be excellent.

Awesome. Powerful e-book reader, with text-to-speech out of this world! Finally I can follow a book in auto-generated audio without needing to concentrate really hard, French and English tested so far, this opens up so many books to me that I currently don't have time to sit down and read. I'm sorry that I did not boycott Amazon's Audible app sooner! They stink! Will go up to 5 stars when play/rewind controls become available in notifications and on lock screen, it's a PITA to pause/rewind.

This is perhaps my favorite eBook reading app. It's not the most intuitive but it crams in a lot of functionality in a clean way. It also has one of the best TTS features. This latest version 0.9.71 seems to have broken the Edge TTS voices, which unfortunately are the best voices available. If your phone has other TTS engines, those probably will still work. I'm hoping for a fix to the edge TTS voices.

One of the best reading apps I have used. It is clean, minimal, and focused purely on the reading experience. It supports custom fonts, and syncs across devices. Exactly what a serious reader needs. No ads, no distractions, just books. I am looking forward to more features like page curl animation, but even in its early stage, Readest is already ahead of most. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a focused, lightweight, and future proof reader. (I'm so excited for the upcoming updates)
